I figured the grid ref after I turned off the pootle last night
I'd been looking up the Birmingham museum and the grid ref had been staring me in the face, it was only as the pootle logged off I was like OMG thats it and I could not be bothered to fire it up again.

great work guys and girls on working out the river. I think the thing found with the hoard is

I like where brownolwl23 is going with this. When I first started looking through the BM&AG site, I noticed the Treasure Valuation Committee will decide if the Crown gets to keep the Hoard or if the Hoard will be kept in the West Midlands as BM&AG, the Potteries Museum and Art Gallery, Stoke-on-Trent, and Staffordshire County Council are hoping. I also found a story about it here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/stoke/content/articles/2009/09/24/anglo_saxon_gold_feature.shtml. I thought perhaps Flynn became involved in this "fight" for rights to the Hoard. I sent an email to Darcy pondering this but have not heard back.
However, upon revisiting posts here I have found the following information about brownowl23's gold band (I don't know that it really is a spoiler but I'll treat it as such to be nice):

New email:

Been busy for the past few days so I have no idea what's going on, but I got that last email as well.

So anyone have the abridged version of where we stand with this?

Since teh_lisa is having bother, I'll throw them on here as attachments for easy reference here then

[teh_lisa]

Much thanks.

I haven't found anything else. I only was able to find the one painting because it had the artist's name on it. I am working on others, but searching for things like "winter painting 1916 snowy road" is not too helpful

[highwind767]

No bother, and if it helps, the key is eays enough:

One picture, lt.jpg, could be a drawing

[highwind767]

Possible, but it looks more like some sort of dais here perhaps, with runes on it. Though if you look at the sketch and compare it to that piece there's a lack of segments on it. But who knows, it may just be my sleepiness talking

Edit: Got another one Here. Thank goodness for the search function

Excuse the double post, but Darcy's sent another mail with another part of the puzzle:

[jaeger138]

Well it.jpg looks like the symbol she found on the buses, it has 8 sections and in s.jpg there are 8 symbols. Maybe there's some significance there. In regards to the numbers, the only thing I could figure was, due to the minus and x symbols that they are either some sort of equation or coordinates of some sort but I've always sucked at coordinates. I'll keep taking a look at the the other stuff, but are the paintings more than just a location clue? Are we supposed to gain something more from them?

5.jpg is this one. I'll see if I can find any of the others. Once we've found out more about them, maybe we'll find a connection between them (perhaps something to do with the artists, or collection numbers, or if/where they're currently on display or something)

Edit: 1.jpg is here.

Continuing the search...
